Election 2006

The bad: I thought if you applied for an absentee ballot once, you got them every year. You'd think maybe they'd call me and be like "Are you still going to college? You wanted one last time, do you want one this time?" But no, they didn't... and I didn't know I needed to apply for one again... so I didn't vote yesterday ( Read more... )

Proposal 3 failing is good, my dear tree hugger. You can't honestly tell me you wanted to shoot mourning doves, can you?

In other news, Holy F'n Democrats! I worked 22 straight hours on election day, and LOVED IT! Oh my gosh do I remember now why I love politics. Less love: teaching it. More love: Doing it!

Hoorah for civic duty!!

Of course I wanted proposal 3 to pass!

Contention 1: Morning doves are overpopulated, often diseased, nearly pointless shitting birds. They do that cool ooo-ee-ooo-ooo-ooo call at sunrise and play a part in the ecosystem, but besides that, morning doves are... a nuisance, at best.

Contention 2: The addition of another hunting season in Michigan means millions of dollars in tourism, conservation funding, hunting license fees, and support for scientific education, studies, and research into a new animal. Michigan's DNR does an amazing job of regulating all the game animals under its judisdiction; hunting doves would HELP them.

The end.

AT 1: A- Mourning doves are indeed not over populated. They may in fact be diseased, I don't know that, but they aren't out biting people or anything so that really isn't a concern ( ... )
